To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that MURL H. SANDERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and' State of VVashington,' has invented certain new and useful Improvements .in Fountain Combs, of which the following is a specifi cation.

This invention relates to improven'ients in fountain combs, in the use of which hair tonic or other medicament may be readily and conveniently applied to the roots of the hair while combing the latter, the construction providing for the convenient combination of the improved device with the ordinary bottles of hair tonic or the like and for the control of the application o-f such hair tonic to the extent and with the pressure -required in the particular instance.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: u

Fig. l is a view 1n elevation, partly 1n section, illustrating the improved fountain comb.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

The improved fountain comb comprises a comb body 1, made of hard rubber or the like, the back 2 of which is formed with a longitudinal duct 8, and teeth 4 arranged integral with the back are formed with narrow ducts or channels 5, which extend longitudinally of the teeth, communicating with the duct 3 at one end and opening through the free end of the tooth at the opposite end.

Integral with the back 2 is a handle portion 6 in the form of an elliptical band, which in the end toward the back 2 of the comb is provided with a conduit 7, having 10 controlled by a valve 11, opening in the same direction as the valve 8. A compressible bulb 12 is adapted to be seated within the band of the handle 6, and the channels 7 and 10 communicate with the bulb.

The projection 9 is arranged to removably receive one end of a flexible pipe 13, the

opposite end of which is adapted to be inserted into a container 14, such as a bottle of'hair tonic or the like.

In operation, by compression of the bulb 12, the material in the container .14 will be delivered through the lducts of the comb nel and opening through the free end of the teeth, an elliptical band integral with the comb back and having valve channels at the respective ends thereof, a compressible bulb tobe inserted and held within said band and having communication with said channels` and an inlet projection carried by the handle.

2. A fountain comb comprising a comb body having a back formed with a longitudinal channel, teeth projecting therefrom having ducts communicating with said channel and opening through the free end of the teeth, an elliptical band integral with the comb back and having valve channels at the respective ends thereof, a compressible bulb to be inserted and held within said band and having communication with said channels, an inlet projection carried by the handle, and a flexible tube rel'novabl)y connected to said inlet projection.

In testimony whereof I atiix my signature.
